[quote=Anonymous]and I'm struggling with this. I don't want to push or argue with her, and I  have nothing against those who care for children. It's just that I always envisioned her pursing an education in STEM or  medicine,  perhaps working as a teacher.

She doesn't even want to pursue a degree in education. I told she could get a degree in education specifically math or science ed, and that could be an asset in the nanny field. She could also use it in another field if she changed her mind, but she doesn't want to do that.

She's been working the  last year and half as an after school sitter and her family is expecting a new baby and she wants to be hired as the full time nanny. I now regret letting her be a babysitter.

I know it's her life, but I hate to see the college acceptances go to waste.

DH thinks we should force her hand a bit- no college she's totally on her own he'd compromise at part time college.

We have never been hard line parents, but we never had to be she's always been very level headed and made sound choices.

I just don't know what to do with this.
